The parser is written in PHP using Perl regular expressions.

The regular expression for the location field is: /(.*\, {0,1}[A-Za-z]{1,}.*)/

For the source field it is: /source: *(.*)/i

For the lineage field it is: /lineage: *(.*)/i or /transfer: (.*)/i

For the taper it is: /taped by: *(.*)/i

For the transferer it is: /transfered by: *(.*)/i or /conversion *: *(.*)/i

I hope this helps

Jon

Jon - just looking at the parser info. This is great to know! I couldn't help but notice the "transfered" by - shouldn't it be "transferred", with two R's?
